- Abstract:
- On the left the ghost of Samuel Johnson, in a great swirl of billowing clouds, appears before a startled James Boswell, right hand raised in alarm, who is seated at a table strewn with papers and remnants. In his hand he holds a cushion labeled "Hebrides." Behind him on the wall are two shelves of books, many of which are identified by author and title, or numbered, perhaps a reference to his journals that were the basis of his Life of Samuel Johnson. Below the shelves is a framed portrait of Boswell. A quotation from William Congreve's The Way of the World, Act iv, Scene 9 is engraved below the image
